Ya know, I never thought that Tracee Ellis Ross would ever teach me how to wash my sweaters. I love it.

[@lisacolllins214]

Right?!? Me too!

[@TheSkara11]

The wash out the funk little dance

[@Joe_Parmesan]

@@TheSkara11 the PiP had me laughing as she kept goin

[@motives88]

Tracee is the woman I want to become...I learn and gain so much wisdom from watching her. I look up to her so much! She is kind, funny, beautiful, successful, talented, humble and intelligent!

[@nikstephney]

Say. That. AGAIN!

[@DelicateMoonMistress]

I use to work for a very expensive dry cleaners called MW Cleaners. I for one can tell you all its a scam. We would charge ppl $20 for one garment and it would come back with stains. And don't fall for the whole "it got lost" when you go to retrieve your missing garment. Odds are it was stolen from somebody that works in the factory. So from somebody that has worked for a dry cleaners, all I can say is you are better off doing it yourself. It saves you money and odds are you are doing a better job.

[@RoseofSharonO]

Only Tracee Ellis Ross could make a video about hand washing so interesting and funny. I actually giggled. Loved this!

[@Itsgorgejess]

"Spin cycle that b%tc!" Lol

[@daniisworld2810]

I can't believe Tracee Ellis Ross just taught me how to hand wash my clothes lol

[@akashicdivine888]

She said “you freakin spin wash that bitchhhh” 😂😂😂😂😂❤️😏 okay I officially know Tracy is the REALEST!

[@TheRichAntArt]

Salad spinner who would have thought. You are freaking brilliant!

[@BostonFrost]

I can't believe an incredibly talented actress takes her time to help people like me with laundry tips... I love you even more now!!

[@LovelynBettison]

Great tips. My grandmother was the queen of hand washing. She taught me that not everything that says dry clean only really needs to be dry cleaned.

[@Inglewood_Addition]

Am I the only one who has a HUGE crush on tracy ellis ross ? I love her eyes & hair and think she's absolutely GORGEOUS! I watch EVERYTHING that she puts out because that's just how much I love her... TrueStory!

travpoet you so dumb it’s called at Afro you dumb bat

[@superfluouschins2578]

I love that she's wearing the same blouse in the Brown University video. She's one of us!

[@boseknows0]

I love the salad spinner! I've been hand washing for years and I've always rolled in a towel and pressed it like you said. Great advice. Love your channel!

[@mrsardw]

This was one of the most entertaining videos that I've watched. I'm going to watch it again.

[@crossdrew82]

The energy is fantastic! You’re awesome! Thank you!

[@Tech-nicallyBlack]

Started hand washing and scrubbing my undies a while ago. I’m 23 and don’t have like open motherly figures that tell me this stuff so I use KZbin. I turn my shirts inside out and scrub the underarms, turn my undies inside out too! I love it!

[@radgarcia1777]

I've been hand washing while traveling for years and I found this most educational.Thank you, now I know now how to get that yummy smelling smell in my garments!

[@claudiawalder3244]

Love it! My mind has been blown away with the salad spinner!! Love your show!!

[@michelledodson3130]

This was great; and the salad dryer...BRILLIANT!!!!!

[@Danadane314]

Oh, and my favorite part was the "gentle scrubbing" pip LOL!

[@noelaf7251]

salad spinner= mind blown!! i love u !!!! thank you for bringing me joy

[@Larjo15]

Love this video... my mother taught me how to handwash my sweaters and silk blouses like this when I went away to college (in the 70s). I also used a lettuce spinner, but it was the kind with the crank on top (time change). I love how fun, yet practical your videos are. Your are like a little sister in my head... love your spirit, character, countenance, apparent values---just love YOU!!! Thanks for sharing. Please keep posting and I, for one, will keep watching.

[@cathyj.1654]

Great tips Tracee! I love the salad spinner idea, good job coming up with that!

[@ryujin8191]

I love this woman's hair and her personality. I love the way how she just goes and on about clothes.. it's cute lol

[@eddyvideostar]

To Ryu Jin: This is the art of KZbin: Flair and flamboyance for frivolous and fine things can fire up your subs and views.

[@punky298705]

You have such great tips! Thank you for sharing. I never considered a lot of the things you mentioned.

[@4cardiog]

Awesome, one of the best yet! Ty Tracee, ordering my laundress products now.

[@1MoNatural]

8 minutes of hand washing with Tracee and I Ioved every minute. :) Thanks for the video!

[@brittanybrookins2543]

You are a heckin GODDESS! I’m so excited to have found your KZbin channel... My family is about to PCS from San Diego, CA to Panama City Beach, FL in a travel trailer, and laundry has been a huge concern. Yet again, you’ve come in clutch. Keep slaying life, you magnificent soul. 💕

[@pepperrgirl]

Do this when I'm in last minute need of fresh underwear the next day(I put in a week's worth to save water and cut the laundry load I was too lazy to do ..that week). I use dishwasher/laundry soap (never body!!) with 2 drops lavender in a large plastic basin of water and stomp around with clean feet. I rinse two times to get rid od any residue. If you don't have clothes pins...use plastic hangers and place on shower rod! Also I lay clothes on the coffee table/chairs.(place towel first) If I have a few hours(don't have a dryer and it's midnight/too scary to visit laundry mart), I use the microwave for 1 min...then hang. Don't use for bras(wire) and don't leave too long...burned two nice panties this way(diy crotchless/keyhole panties?) *lol*

[@stephaniejordan9066]

Thank you Tracee for putting a smile on my face i was feeling down.

[@daloveis1]

Hey Tracie! Thanks for the tips. I'm also a fan of The Laundress!! There wool and cashmere wash is awesome!

[@SAMMYANTHA81]

You are hilarious! I love your personality and your helpful tips...you had me laughing at the salad spinner, but I remember what those did to lettuce, why not clothing--genius. This is the first video of yours I've watched and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm going to have to see if you've got videos on hair. I've been exploring my curls for a few years. But, it's always great to get more tips.Fantastic! Thank you.

[@SoulGlamGrl90]

Yes! I found this video at the perfect time! Now off to hand wash my new- never before washed hot pink shirt! Thanks Tracee!

[@sistahgrace85]

Love you, love it. Thank you for the pointers.

[@set04c]

Watching your videos always make me smile :)

[@haley806]

Hand washing is great to take care of expensive clothes but also great for cheap clothes! Things from Forever 21 and H&M will last so much longer if you hand wash. I hand wash alot of things and people think I am crazy! Glad there are others out there. I do my tights in the winter to "get the funk out." I love the salad spinner idea! I use the towel method and a drying rack. geeking out on handwashing. thank you.

[@QueenSilverChalice]

Oh my freaking goodnesss!!! I love you Tracee!!! Lmao.. Not only is this all true but your so hilarious with it, naturally. I usually hand wash my dry clean only clothes too because dry cleaning over and over again is ridicullously expensive. That sald bowl trick though...freaking genius! Wow. I gotta add that technique to my hand wash regimen now. Lol thank you so much Tracee!

[@deedbrown]

Lol... omg you have me dying laughing. You are my favorite celebrity period and I Love your vids thanks for taking the time.

[@hellkatthoney]

Thank you so much, this was very helpful, especially the vinegar part!

[@Itsgorgejess]

So useful! Great tips!

[@candacelunford7245]

Geez Louise I enjoy you!♥ thanks for the smiles, knowledge, inspiration! ★You Rock★

[@lisacolllins214]

I love you! Thanks for sharing. I spend $90 weekly on dry cleaning. How much you wanna bet I put that money to use elsewhere? Hand wash here I come!!!

[@catherinemacmillan3674]

Wish I had seen this years ago!! Love it Tracee, you are so funny. I will be purchasing another salad spinner just for laundry.

[@Danyellcarmelita]

Omg I learned something and yes I've received clothes back from the cleaners still funky. Love the editing too

[@stephaniejordan9066]

So did i

[@bownewsnetwork]

Great tips. I started doing handwashing because of power outage from Hurricane Irma in South Florida. I found it so relaxing. I used a empty Gain detergent bottle to agitate in the kitchen sink. No fabric softener because it can limit detergent cleaning power. I drop tea tree oil to battle the underarm funk. It works great. Thanks...loved you in that Hoodies Awards clip - "Blackfish". Do that washing clothes agitate dance again...you funny.

[@WhatAlexSays]

I feel poor and basic for not even knowing that lettuce dryers existed before this video. I've been eating wet lettuce my whole life!

[@user-jv1cl2fs6m]

That's hysterical!! I know how you feel! Hopefully Amazon has a really bad ass one..

[@tkhachi]

I didn't know until I worked at a restaurant lol

[@Danadane314]

Loved! I can hardly believe that I watched an 8 minute video about hand washing! I loved every minute. I actually learned some things, but Mostly I just cracked up! You are so frickin' funny!!! Loved!

[@user-jv1cl2fs6m]

Gurrrrllll...you are to real for HD-TV!! Great video and (memorably informing!)!

[@jodiii122]

genius idea about the lettuce spinner!!

[@CowboyHatsAndKuchen]

I 💖 lavender and I 💖 this video 😍 thank you!

[@sharene397]

I'm not going to lie, I thought this was going to be an 8 minute video about washing your hands.

[@keiwandamac]

Lol me too!!

[@belleoftheball2night302]

keiwandamac Yep me too and I was doing some homework for Health class and we just were talking about using restroom and germs. LOL she talking bout washing clothes ... LOL

[@jencyrhonald3305]

lol same here.

[@eddyvideostar]

Sharene: Oh yeah! However, I presumed otherwise since this is in the same video category as clothes washing.

[@3thechicway]

So many helpful tips!

[@cherripj]

: )

[@denisebayron]

First: I love you! Second: I've been traveling through Asia for the last 6 months where washing machines are scarce and dryers non-existent. I had to adapt and wash everything (including bedsheets) by hand! I was pissed at first. All that crouching in the shower with a plastic bucket having to rinse again and again. Now I'm hooked! My clothes have never been fresher! The salad spinner idea is brilliant though, bc I was walking around with all those silly wrinkles. Thanks Tracee!!

[@justbreathe5466]

hi! I love you! thank you so much! I am not a smart person, don't have lots of money and laundry is so costly. I was looking for a low cost way to clean those items i hate paying to turn over. I only have the use of one hand so the vinegar and salad spinner are life changers for me. Thank you for sharing !! You are amazing

[@wtpaige]

this was fabulous

[@kellyi.4353]

Tracee I LOVE these tips!!! I'm for sure gonna use them. I have hand washed before, but I think I've been abusing my clothing in the process.

[@mesweet2u]

Thanks for the info. Good info! Now I can feel more confident hand washing my delicates

[@manisty16]

Oh my. I love your video. You are hilarious yet extremely relateable. Your curls are rocking.

[@franzabananza]

Years thank you! So many people don't know about hand washing clothes. Especially items that say dry clean only. Uh no way those items had to be cleaned some way before dry cleaners were invented. Seriously some of my friends don't even know what a wash board is lol! One of the things I'm glad my grandmother taught me.

[@thiscantbeit]

Thanks for this, very useful.

[@robynheavner4689]

I love it, Tracee! Thank you, dear.😇

[@IchNaturally]

Great tips! Thanks for sharing...

[@ginae3145]

Great tips!

[@kiwthebeauty]

I freaking love you! You just spin cycle that bish!!! I laughed so hard but this was amazing stuff!!! We want more!!

[@Charlenedoesstuff]

4:27 LOLZZZZ!!! great tips. I have a dress that no dry cleaner wants to touch due to the sequins...been sitting for like 3 years waiting (enter shamed face here)...I'm going to test a section and try this this weekend!!! DUH- why didn't I think of this before I've seen my mom handwash a million times as a kid!!!

[@starkandee4016]

I've been hand washing 30 yrs! Drop sink. I also have a portable machine with an extractor that I use in the tub. You get a better cleaning.

[@drenaluv8475]

"SPIN CYCLE THAT BITCH" in the lettuce dryer! I freakin' love it!!!

[@weekendnomad5038]

I’ve always loved her and now I love her that much more 🥰

[@heritage.home.crochet]

This is a great tutorial. She's a good teacher.

[@kacewill]

First time here. Was cracking up watching this video. I was agreeing with everything you said though. Esp the pre-test part! E.g. I once made the mistake of putting the cleanser Directly. On. the underarms of a blouse and it took the dye out. So instead of sweat/odor, I had strange bleach marks. Fail! What you taught me thats new to me is the essential oils for fragrance. Gonna try that next time. Love it.

[@chellj1]

Great video!! Very helpful info😄

[@aryaboomer7777]

Yall this is diana ross’s daughter blessing us with her tips

[@eddyvideostar]

Arya Boomer: If she were so, her views would abound with other methods of luring the subs to the allure of greater success with other attributes.

[@itsdestaynee]

Great tips

[@Kdee1405]

Hilarious and useful, two of my favorite things!

[@sunmadien]

Thanks Tracee I learnt a lot

[@handeersoy604]

this is brilliant

[@nailsneedlesandhooks]

The salad spinner is genius! I hand wash my sweaters, camis, and tops. I just use my reg detergent with is any free and clear. I knew about the vinegar (also gets sweat stains out of silk)...but the salad spinner?!? This is going to save me some serious time, especially with my sweaters. Thanks for the video!

[@donnarams]

Great, love it.

[@frizzlemefloral]

awesome tips!!! thank you :)

[@ConsciousBeaut]

"Spin cycle that bit**!" Lmaooo love her!

[@hellome8899]

Me and my husband watch blackish every single day. The kids at home grown is a good idea. I need my show back. Im literally your character. And it relieves alot of stress.

[@xzy3079]

i learn so much

[@moondoggie517]

This is stuff I learned from my mom a *long* time ago but I TOTALLY forgot about! :P tx for the reminder

[@StormyHair]

I remember the younger years of hand washing...haven't done that in so long. I'm so lazy I only buy blouses that don't wrinkle, needless to say. Great video!

[@syckindahead]

First time seeing a lettuce dryer-how neat!

[@fall3nable]

Tracee makes the simple things in life seem deeply philosophical and charming :)

[@karenseneferu1979]

Too cute. Thanks.

[@alexc5656]

I love your video😍

[@nancydee6106]

Love it

[@superfluouschins2578]

"Friggin' spin-cycle that bitch!" I love her.

[@bwnsugashay]

Useful video thank you xxxx

[@weekendnomad5038]

Nooooo wayyyyyyu a freaking salad spinner ?!? Genius!!!

[@enmaxus7210]

I'm sorry Tracee but the gentle cycle on my washing machine works just as well but I totally get it. My mother have been hand washing her delicate clothing before I was born and I'm 48. I so enjoy your videos and your sunny personality.

[@2Tenor777]

God, I love this woman. So real and funny.

[@serenepeace3842]

Engaging, real and superbly talented is what makes you MY DEFINITE CUP OF TEA.

[@PictureMeNatural]

your so cute in your little corner. thanks for the tips hun!

[@pashawasha47]

I put things in an old pillowcase and spin it around outside or in the kitchen where, hey, I need to mop anyway. You can spin a lot more than one thing at a time like that too.

[@HopeGrant423]

Ate you still gentle cycling in the background? Did you put the camera on the lettuce dryer? I love you, you are so funny and down to earth!

[@angeldc1807]

I love you so much!!! ❤️

[@Margsworld]

A spinner? Never would have thought of that Duh! Lol Love the video Tracee
